no offence intended, we're a sarcastic bunch, but love each other with our bruised knuckles and shared knowledge
Latest one I have found is the diagram of the routing of the brake lines at the rear.
I see nothing wrong with brake line layout other than the LHD is listed as RHD and the RHD layout is listed as LHD. But it would not take the brain of Britain to work out which one applied to their car. Can't see that it would cause a lot of head scratching. It is pretty obvious.

I didn't say it would fool anyone, merely that it is another example of an error in RAVE of which there are many, some of them would certainly fool a beginner.
You mean like one of the descriptions of how the MAF sensor works on the diesel?
Are we talking new diesel or old?

Speak for yourself, some of us are VERY close.ask @holidaychicken to name just oneMate ... You've got this forum all wrong!!!!

Doesn't matter still does same job new or old.

Or your description of how the solenoids close in the valve block?
Or your description of how the solenoids close in the valve block?
You mean soft drop yeah that does happen.

I proved with scope traces that it doesn't happen, technically it's almost impossible with spring return solenoids to soft drop, the power is cut instantaneously, you want me to re-post the scope traces?. Going back a bit further, how about your description of how the centre diff and viscous work?
No it soft drops if it didn't the seal would be knackered in a couple of weeks.
I fear this thread may go.......

I presume the drop rate also depends on how the residual flux in the coil dissipates, plus the effect of air pressure against the solenoid spring ? They seem to work, but interesting none the less.
The valve is lifted with a high voltage pulse then the voltage drops to around half the initial voltage and is pulsed holding the valve open. The last pulse voltage decays gradually in a curve back to zero giving a soft drop, it is not just switched off.
